This is (at least for x86) fixed in a newer ebuild, so it should be enough
to run 'emerge sync' and then rerun 'emerge world'.

If there are no dmesg messages when you plug the device in, it means it isn't getting detected by the kernel, so the hotplug message isn't getting sent. This sounds like a problem with your USB kernel configuration (or the USB port you're plugging into) rather than hotplug/coldplug.

It has gone very roughly. I still do not have email from that computer and hence, cannot cut-and-paste the exact error I am having, but, here goes... History--- I downloaded and followed the instructions for a Gentoo install from the gentoo website a few weeks ago. I made it through the first part where it says I have a full system. Now I am trying to get a desktop manager to work. I have finally been able to get twm to work, but, like the person who wrote the document, I would rather have nearly anything than twm. In the process somewhere between having a working system and getting graphics, emerge stopped working. Problem-- In brief, the error is that my system is not sane. The specific error can be seen by editing nearly any configure script in any of the builds and finding where the script uses ls to check against the system time and see if your system is sane. After closer inspection, I see when the tar -xvf step is run that every file is from the future. A long ways in the future. I didn't do the math, but I would bet the executing process is believing it is time 0 when it is running. What I have already tried-- If I go into the build directory and touch the configure script, then run it again, I can manually run the install process, e.g. configure;gmake;gmake install When I type date, it looks right to me. When I create files they have the current time on them. I don't know what the problem is, but I am guessing it is related to installing the desktop since that is all I have done to change anything since the last time I saw emerge work. I have tried emerge rsync which did not help. I have tried emerging other things, all builds fail for the same reason. The build stops and tells me to check to make sure my clock works. Frustrated venting-- I am at a loss here because I don't know python, so I am shooting blind in the emerge code, and sh is not my language of choice either, so the error, which occurs at the ./configure step of emerge, is beyond me. I like gentoo so far

When shutting down, gnome 2.4 always produces a dialog box saying (similar words to these) these applications (all of mine are listed) won't restart, you will need to restart them manually. But they lie. Most of them restart, but all crammed onto the first desktop! Is there any way to cause gnome not to restart them, as it promissed? I used to get this behavior (without the dialog) because I shut the system down running 'shutdown' from the command line.

Poking around in /usr/portage/distfiles, I did find:

Maybe you could recreate the 2.4.20-gentoo-r1 source tree with them.
